N2 - Among six patients who were proved at operation to have carcinoma of the thyroid three were found in whom the preoperative roentgenographic findings would have sufficed to give the diagnosis. In each of these three cases psammoma bodies were found in sections of the carcinoma. One out of four patients with local recurrences of thyroid carcinoma also showed characteristic malignant calcifications. In a total of 45 patients studied by soft-tissue radiography there were no false-positive diagnoses. In the differential diagnosis by roentgenography it is borne in mind that malignant calcifications are not dense but are poorly marginated, approximately uniform in size, grouped in streaks or in nebular formation, and without a calcific rim.
